Mercedes-Benz also relies on selling its logo to make a living? The entry-level model of the new C-Class sedan may only be equipped with a 1.3T engine

We all know that there are many car models on the market now. If they were not equipped with a car logo that is influential among the general user group, many people might not pay attention to it.

But who would have thought that Mercedes with thick eyebrows and big eyes is now trying to do this!

Currently, the entry-level model C180L of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is equipped with a 1.6T engine. However, according to the latest news, in order to further lower the price of the entry-level version, Mercedes-Benz may replace the starting model of the C-Class with a turbocharged engine with a displacement of only 1.3 liters.

The source of this news comes from the Beijing Benz Engine Factory, which will produce a new generation of 1.3T four-cylinder turbocharged engines. You should know that the current C180L series models are equipped with 1.6T turbocharged engines with a maximum power of only 156 horsepower. The future 1.3T engine may only meet the needs of making the car move.

In addition, the tenth-generation Honda Civic, a popular compact sedan, uses the 1.5T engine as its main model. The future new Mercedes-Benz C-Class may find it difficult to match these powerful low-priced small cars in terms of acceleration performance and sportiness.

But after replacing the engine with a small displacement, from the consumer's perspective, the biggest benefit is that the corresponding tax rate will be reduced from 5% to 3%, which is expected to further lower the price of the entry-level version.

After all, just like many people choose the previous Mercedes-Benz GLK-class model to fulfill their luxury SUV dreams, being able to spend the least money and buy a luxury car brand is what domestic consumers care most about.
